‘Final Fantasy 15’ confirmed for 2016. Date Announcement Event coming in March
Holy shit. The Great Wait will be over in 2016. SquareEnixFolk have announced that FFXV is indeed dropping next year, and they’re commemorating its release with a special event in March. To announce its release. Okay!
‘Rise of the Tomb Raider’ dropping on PC early 2016, PS4 gets it Holiday 2016
Ain’t no such thing as exclusives anymore. And as much as it pains me to see PS4-only owning folks having to wait out the timed XB1 exclusive for Rise of the Tomb Raider, at least it’s been confirmed they’ll get it. Eventually. Like a year after I’ve played it. But still.
OMEGA-LINKS: Episode VIII, Bustin’ Ghosts, Bustin’ Wallets
Every once in a while I feel the need to do a cleansing, uncontrollable purge of my RSS reader’s “Saved for Later” folder. Today is the day, folks! Open your mouths, close your eyes, and thank whatever Deity you subscribe to. In this edtion we got some Rian Johsnon on Episode VIII love, pulsating stars, space-suits, Amazon buyin’ shit, and more.
‘Remember Me’ developer creating digital, episodic game for Square Enix
The minds behind Remember Me are once again teaming up with Square Enix. This time in the developer DONTNOD will be producing a wholly digital, episodic game called Life is Strange.
Square Enix: OH SH*T, People Like JRPGS. Us: Yeahnoduhbruh.
Don’t get excited! Don’t! But there are signs that Square Enix may actually be pulling their head out of their ass. It’s fucking up there, so it may take some time. Fecaltainment spraying everywhere. A frightening, rumbling sucking sound as their cranium emerges. But after the sales of Bravely Default, the company is all like: wait, people like JRPGs. No fucking shit. Now can we get a real Final Fantasy?
SQUARE ENIX creates ‘FINAL FANTASY COMMITTEE’ to OVERSEE FRANCHISE.
Yeah, that’s what Square Enix needs. More fucking bureaucracy. They’ve created a “Final Fantasy Committee” to oversee the franchise. With the franchise dying a general laughingstock for gamers of my generations, it’s good to see them making an effort. Makes sense. But I’m not sure it is needed. They could just try reading any news story written about them over the last twelve years.
Press Start: Dew n’ Dorito Nightmare
All week I’ve been vividly imagining the symbiotic relationship between Mountain Dew and Doritos whilst trying to figure out just how video games fit into it. Cross-promotion is a bizarre concept to me; I keep trying to see the links, the patterns and then I get scared and frustrated when it doesn’t all piece together. I’ve been having fevered nightmares about neon, corn-peppered shit slurry: really vivid, nasty stuff. I need to write this to exorcise them demons.
Square Enix launches COREONLINE, a new cloud gaming service. Why?
Square Enix likes to laugh at us after farting a sugary dollop of turd on our tongue. This is evident. They could be doing so many fruitful things, but instead they’re making Final Fantasy XIII-3: Lightning Knickers and launching cloud gaming services. It is evident there are no fucks given around those headquarters.
